Tasting Notes
Aroma
White peach, red apple and flint show on the aroma with
cinnamon adding complexity.
Palate
The palate is a textural delight with a great
depth of flavour – time on ferment lees has provided an attractive creamy
character to the wine. Use of French oak provides a touch of astringency on
the finish. A rounded and complete wine, crisp acidity cleans the finish and
provides great length.
Vinification
The fruit was separated in to two different ferments – one in
tank, the other in neutral French oak barriques. The oak portion was
fermented using wild yeasts and kept on ferment lees with minimal sulphur
with weekly battonage for nine months. The two portions were blended just
prior to bottling in December 2023.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now but will continue evolving through to
2035.
Food Matching
A rich baked salmon dish with green herb sauce would
complement the palate roundness of this wine.
